check out the peluso clones. I'm not going to say it sounds as good as the
real thing but the u47 copy John Peluso makes is pretty nice.

Subject: Best medium priced mic for female vocals

I'm pretty sure it's the TLM103. I believe it's the lowest priced
Neumann. The TLM 193 is more expensive isn't it? BRBR

The TLM193 is about $500 more than the TLM103. It's a much more accurate (less
hyped high end) mic, & thus sounds dark on many voices. If sibilance is a
problem for you, the TLM193 might be exactly what you need. I often start with
the 103, then move to the 193 if there is excessive sibilance. It's not a
male/female thing either. Some women sound better on the brighter mic (103)
some men sound better on the darker mic (193) it all depends on the voice.
